Can You Deworm a Dog Infected with Distemper?
No — don't deworm a dog with distemper. The virus already weakens its immunity, and deworming can trigger vomiting, diarrhea, or worse. Wait until it has fully recovered and rested at least two weeks, then deworm; afterward avoid baths and vaccines too.
Why does a dog shake its coat?
Dogs shake coat in many situations: when nervous or scared, to relieve tension; when cold, muscle contraction and shaking generates heat via circulation; when overtired, rest and replenish energy.
What happens if a dog eats a chicken head?
Eating chicken heads may cause health issues; bones, skin and muscle can cause indigestion (vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain). Bone fragments may pierce mouth, throat or digestive tract. Watch closely; if symptoms appear, see a vet; mild cases can be observed with rest and water.
My dog has low spirits but eats normally; it screams when I put the leash on and sometimes when I accidentally touch it
Low spirits with screaming when leashed or touched, though the exact spot is unclear, may indicate neuritis, central nerve damage, spinal herniation or abdominal pain. Rest at home for two days without outings. If symptoms persist, see a vet for diagnosis and treatment.
What breed is my dog? Searches say either a rural Chinese dog or a Caucasian Shepherd
From its features, it is essentially a Chinese rural dog (Tugou), quite different from a Caucasian Shepherd. Caucasian Shepherds are large with thick, dense coats and bulky limbs even as puppies, usually gray or brown. The dog in the photo has a pointed nose, small mouth and short coat, and Caucasians are rare restricted breeds in China.
What should I watch for after my dog gets the four-way vaccine?
After the four-way vaccine, observe the dog and strengthen care. Side effects like fever or poor appetite may appear; watch closely and consult a vet if severe. Avoid contact with untested dogs for a few days to prevent cross-infection. Ensure rest and proper nutrition.
What are the signs of miscarriage in a dog?
The clearest sign of miscarriage is continuous discharge from the vulva with abdominal pain; if the fetuses are developed they may pass and be eaten by the mother. Take a pregnant dog with these signs to the vet; without timely anti-inflammation, uterine infection and whole-body inflammation including fever and pyometra can follow.
My dog was fine this morning, but by afternoon its anus was swollen and red, with diarrhea but no blood
Diarrhea likely caused anal redness and inflammation; long diarrhea irritates and infects the skin around the anus, causing redness, pain, and even prolapse. See a vet to find the diarrhea cause. Bacterial gastroenteritis, parasites, or viral enteritis all cause diarrhea with different treatments, needing vet-guided antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and gut-restoring medicine, fasting, and fluids to prevent dehydration.
My 10-year-old Schnauzer with mild cardiomegaly had a pelvic fracture seen on X-ray; the vet suggested surgery with two pins, but a second X-ray showed healing tendency and said surgery is not needed — can I take it home to rest? It has been in the hospital 4 days.
Given the vet found healing tendency on the second X-ray and the dog is old with an enlarged heart, avoiding surgery to escape anesthesia risk is reasonable, so home rest can be considered. At home give a quiet, clean, comfortable place, avoid jumping, manage diet and pain, follow up regularly, and manage the heart condition per the vet.
